I also collect old Apple computers, and the keyboard/mouse interface used until the late 1990s was something called "ADB"-Apple Desktop Bus. It was actually quite ingenious, and among other things used an off-the-shelf S-Video cable.
Even though I like the nice curly white ones, especially with an embossed Apple on the plug, it's also nice if I need something longer than a standard Apple cable to be able to just grab something at hand. BTW, I use an ADB keyboard(Apple Extended) on my main desktop at home via a USB adapter, and the configuration is such that a 10 ft. S-Video cable is quite handy.
